Since there are plenty of folks who find FR confusing to navigate, especially newbies, how about some technical links to help us out?

I’m sorry, the first part of my answer is missing.

The HTML sandbox is an FR thread that teaches HTML (bold, italics, underlining, inserting pics/graphs/charts or other info, quoting outside sources, colors, etc.) and provides a place where people can practice their new skills.

I’m not sure what you’re describing. My search box is in the top-right corner. Can you post a screenshot?

Maybe someone else will help.

I have my main FR page set up totally different, so I don’t know.

Are you talking about “popular keywords”? A list of keywords like obama, banglist, jpb, keywords like that?

If so then go to your “accounts”, click on “manage blocks”, find where it says “popular keywords” and then disable it (as opposed to right, left, top, bottom).

Otherwise I can’t help other than by bumping your question.

no, it is a keyword YOU pick, and i can see it in the manage blocks and do anything BUT delete it or change it

i read it in a thread how to add a keyword but i can't remember the thread either

thx.

Tremendously slow here too. I have to browse other websites while I wait for the next FR page to load.

I had heard that HTML sandbox was also a place to help people maintain the correct posting styles. For example, quoting in italics followed by regular type face. The sandbox was to show people how to do the italics (and add pictures, etc.)

That’s what I thought HTML sandbox was for, just as you said.
